TRAILER: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdS6Z0ylgUU&feature=player_embedded

Ten years in the making and culled from 5000 hours of footage, We Live In Public reveals the effect the web is having on our society, as seen through the eyes of “the greatest Internet pioneer you’ve never heard of”, artist, futurist and visionary Josh Harris. Award-winning director Ondi Timoner (DIG! – which also won the Sundance Grand Jury Prize in 2004 – making Timoner the only director to win that prestigious award twice) documented his tumultuous life for more than a decade to create a riveting, cautionary tale of what to expect as the virtual world inevitably takes control of our lives.

This is the ONLY chance you'll have to see this highly acclaimed film in Birmingham.

The film is currently on a short European tour, and will soon be heading back to the US.

Supported by Birmingham City University Media Suite, we have secured a one-off private viewing, and are also hoping to link with Josh Harris via Skype in LA immediately before the screening starts. UPDATE: Skype call is not now possible, sorry.

However, we have received permission to play The Guardian Tech Weekly's Charles Arthur/ Josh Harris audio interview immediately before the screening.... many thanks The Guardian.

Strictly limited to 78 tickets only.

90 minutes duration.

(Usual copyright restrictions apply- strictly no filming or photography inside the screening area)
